How to respond to bf saying he likes boobs?

GrinchWithAConscience · 24/10/2025 00:26

Sent my boyfriend a video (totally non-sexual) and he commented that he likes the woman’s boobs. I want to respond so he knows that’s not appropriate or funny, any ideas how to get the point across without starting a huge argument?

OP posts:

How long have you been with him because unless you are already entrenched in a deeply committed relationship then theres no way i would see a way back from that I would just dump and move on. My dp for all his faults I dont think would ever do this after us being together nearly 6 years.

Yep. This.

Well that’s a very weird thing to do. Is he hinting that you should get a boob job?!

Send him a pic of a man in tights and tell him that you like this man’s package.

How old are you both? He sounds somewhat immature - as men tend to smarten up to the fact that women don't like hearing every sexual thought that comes to men's heads....
He can't control liking women's boobs, it's just human nature. But learning not to verbalise it - in general, and especially to his gf is something he needs to learn if he wants to be in a relationship.

Breaking up over this would be a massive overreaction to me. But telling him to grow up is a must.

is he still a teenager?

Straight blokes like boobs.
Men can be thoughtless and crass and crude.
Tell him how you felt.
See what he does.

Crass and uncouth. Save time and just dump him now.

Shock horror a man likes boobs. You could easily just playfully say 'do you prefer my boobs?' instead of putting it out for deliberation for the usual overreaction dump him brigade on here.

Not every single straight man is obsessed with big boobs. Yes lots are, maybe most, but not all. Maybe OP is with the wrong man. I couldn't be with a man like that.

Two questions:

  1. Why would responding thst his comment felt disrespectful start a huge argument?

  2. If it does start an argument why do you need to avoid it? Sometimes arguments need to be had.

OP didn’t say anything about big boobs……

This is the 2nd thread I've read today about men liking boobs.

WTAFIsWrongWithPeople · 29/03/2026 18:08

Given the evolutionary theory behind boobs, nobody should be surprised that straight men like them! 😆

Oxborn · 29/03/2026 18:09

I would say thats nice dear your a big tit afterall

Oh come on, it probably is. When a man feels the need to comment on breasts it's almost always because they're big.

My fault for bumping this older thread that was recommended to me, because I'd commented on the other one.

OriginalUsername2 · 29/03/2026 18:11

There’s lots you could say but you’d be wasting your time.

I guess “why are you telling me that?” because I’d be genuinely interested to find out how and why he thought that was a good idea before I dumped him.

There are several theories about them, and they are all just theories, not proven.

Tell him you like your colleague's cock
